    Hi,
    I ran port scanner application in a simulation. It works fine. If server listening port is set to 250 and port scanner range is 1 to 1024, it stops after 3 ticks and i can see echo request and response. But my question is , how to see the result of port scanning attacks. How can I know excatly which port is open on the server side?

      When we wrote the port scanner application, we were only interested in the scaning behaviour (packets transmitted) and not the actual scan results. So our port scanner application scans ports, but does not record any scan results.

      If your are interested in the actual results you hav to write your own port scanner that takes care of reporting these results. This of course could be done extending the existing port scanner.
